[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 372: Unexpected Reinforcements (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Jehol. Longhua Front.

Ma Zheng was listening to the report of Zhu Changgui and others at the forward headquarters, when the service soldier hurriedly shouted outside the door: "Report, Minister Xu urgently telegraphed!" ”

Putting down the pencil in his hand, his eyes shifted back from Zhu Changgui and the others, and then said solemnly: "Nian"

"Commander: A few days ago, the 10th Wing, the main force of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the enemy, with about 12,000 people from two infantry brigades and 1 cavalry regiment of the puppet army, attacked Laiyuan in a big way with the cooperation of aircraft, and the 110th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly went north, and its vanguard troops have arrived in the Xiahuayuan area, and the follow-up troops are being assembled. At six o'clock yesterday, the port of Tianjin was suddenly closed to martial law, and then our army's intelligence officers risked their lives to send back urgent information, and a heavy army of the Japanese army assembled in the port of Tianjin, numbered the 33rd Division, and the 8th, 9th, and 10th brigades and regiments of the independent mixture. The operator exclaimed.

"Well, call Minister Xu back immediately, just say that the call has been confirmed, and ask him to continue to observe the movements of the Japanese army and provide intelligence support to the front-line departments." Ma Zheng ordered.

"Yes"

After the operator withdrew, Ma Zheng suddenly fell into deep thought. There are all kinds of signs that the Japanese army seems to be shrinking their forces, and they are trying to increase their forces in the north, and their target must be the Suicha Military Region, but it is not known whether this old thing Sugiyama is ready to retreat after a slight counterattack or intends to completely solve the threat of the Suicha Military Region to the North China Front.

If it is the former, then it is good to say, Ma Zheng has already made arrangements for this, but if the Japanese North China Front is ready to fight the main decisive battle with the Suicha Military Region, then it must be considered to mobilize all the people in the base area to make a final struggle.

With the forces that the Japanese army is gathering now, it will not be able to move the Suicha Military Region for the time being, but if the divisions, brigades and regiments in Tianjin Port also go north to reinforce the Suicha Military Region, then the matter will be a big deal. No matter how powerful the Suicha Military Region is, it can't withstand the onslaught of more than 100,000 elites of the Japanese army. Once the defense zone is breached, the consequences are unimaginable.

More importantly, it was only the beginning of March 1939, and the 8th, 9th, and 10th brigades had not yet been formed. How did it be compiled so quickly, and it arrived on the battlefield in China. If all this information is true. That shows that history has changed something because of his appearance, although the change is not very big, but it has indeed changed.

It seems that the Japanese army has long planned to take action against the Suicha Military Region, and so many secret troops have been assembled in the North China battlefield, and the Japanese army's plan seems to be not small, and it seems that the initiative to attack this move is the right move. Ma Zheng also found a loophole in his arrangement, that is, he did not anticipate the increase of troops in the Japanese army, which made the pressure on the troops increase sharply.

In fact, he had already considered it at the time, but Ma Zheng expected that the battle would end in half a month at most. And the reinforcements of the Japanese army from the assembly to the boarding and then to China were impossible to complete in a month. However, it now seems that these units of the Japanese army have already been secretly assembled in North China, and so far there are about 40,000 more people in one division and three brigades, and I don't know if there are still hidden troops.

Ma Zheng climbed on the map for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you have heard the telegram just now, the Japanese army has now increased its troops to Datong and Zhangjiakou, and it is two elite divisions in one move. Now the Japanese army has formed a huge semi-encirclement on the line from Datong to Zhangjiakou. The Japanese army seems to want to encircle and annihilate the Duqi Division, the 93rd Division, and the troops under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in a narrow area south of Datong, Yanggao, Tianzhen, and Huai'an. ”

Ma Zheng's words just fell. Xu Hu couldn't help but say: "The little devils have a big appetite, but I don't know if they have a good pair of teeth, when I see it, they can't eat us, but they will collapse their molars!" ”

Tie Niu frowned and said: "Now the Japanese army has gathered too many troops on our periphery, not to mention more than 100,000 people, we must not underestimate the enemy." Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "When I formulated the battle plan at that time, I originally estimated that the Japanese army would increase the reinforcements of two divisions at most like Zhangjiakou and Datong, which was already the largest mobile force that the Japanese army could draw. But now it seems that we still underestimate these little devils, and the domestic reinforcements have already boarded the ship and set off, and they landed in China at this critical time, which is to add more than 40,000 elites to the old devil of Sugiyama for nothing. And this elite is still a real mobile force, as long as the southward campaign does not go well, the Japanese army may increase troops to the front line of Zhang Da at any time, Huang Sicheng and Yang Chengwu are not under pressure! ”

Zhu Changgui, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Commander, we are not bad if the little devil has reinforcements, we underestimated the little devil, and the little devil didn't find out our details, this battle is still very interesting!" ”

"Oh, where are our reinforcements?" Xu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"There are more than 5,000 troops in the area of the old mill, although the weapons and equipment are not good, but the quality of the soldiers is still very good. Besides, this time we annihilated so many little devils in one fell swoop, and the captured weapons and equipment are enough to arm these thousands of people, as long as we change clothes, it is a good combat force. ”

"Yes, you kid hasn't been in vain for more than half a year, and you haven't embarrassed our Eighth Route Army, so you should quickly gather your troops. According to our previous agreement, how big a butt is to make a big chair, now your department will be temporarily organized as the new first brigade of the Suicha Military Region, with you as the brigade commander, and Guo Yilun, the former instructor of your department, as the political commissar. Ma Zheng said.

"Yes, never disappoint the commander's high hopes!" Zhu Changgui said excitedly.

Then Zhu Changgui continued: "Commander, in addition to our troops, there are also three independent development units of our Suicha Military Region in several nearby banner counties, namely Li Dehu's department in the paddock, Niu Dazhuang's department in the Karaqin Banner, and Luanping's Tiexinlan department. ”

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "I know about these troops, but it seems that they were all independent platoons at that time, and it shouldn't have developed much in just half a year, right?" ”

Zhu Changgui smiled and said: "You don't know this commander, when these three units did come out, they were all strengthened platoons, and each platoon only had 55 people including the chief and deputy platoon commanders, but the development of these troops was good. ”

"Oh, what a good idea, you should hear it!" Ma Zheng was immediately interested by Zhu Changgui's words.

"At that time, when we separated, there were a total of 15 teams, of which 10 went to Chabei and the north-central part of Suiyuan, and five went to Rehe. Except for Zhang Dalong's department, which was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese puppet army because of its unstable foothold, the other four branches developed very well. Although the conditions of the Karaqin Banner Niu Dazhuang Headquarters were extremely harsh, the headquarters overcame hurried difficulties, and when he contacted him some time ago, his troops had grown to more than 2,500 people, which was almost equivalent to a reinforced regiment. And Li Dehu's department is also good, because the Japanese puppet army in the enclosure is very weak, so they have twice broken through the enclosure county, and they are quite prestigious in the local area, with more than 3,600 troops, but among our four troops, the best development is still Tie Xinlan's department. ”

"Oh, isn't it the best development for your unit to increase the number of soldiers more than thirty times in 9 months?" Ma Zheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, although I don't develop well, it's really not the best, it's far worse than Tie Xinlan's department."

"Tie Xinlan, I remember her, she seems to be a leader in Hutou Mountain, one of the few female officers in our army!" Ma Zheng said.

"Yes, Tie Xinlan turned out to be the only daughter of Li Zuihu, the big boss of Hutou Mountain, and her mother's surname was Tie. After Li Zuihu was killed by the security regiment, Tie Xinlan took over as the head of Hutou Mountain, this woman is indeed very powerful, a few years later, Jiujiang Hutou Mountain has developed into the largest bandit cottage in the territory of the Chahar Right Wing Rear Banner, and also annihilated the Chahar Right Wing Rear Banner Security Regiment, avenged his father, and later the commander took us to incorporate this army, Tie Xinlan also participated in our Eighth Route Army, and was later sent to Rehe to lead the anti-Japanese battle behind the enemy. ”

"Well, how many people are in Tie Xinlan's department now?" Ma Zheng immediately asked.

"At least 10,000 people, if not more!" Zhu Changgui said in a surprising voice.

"Ten thousand? If there were 10,000 people, it would be great news, this was an unexpected reinforcement, but how could they be so fast? Ma Zheng said in surprise. (To be continued.) )
